Ceballos, Lo Celso and Diego Conde included in Betis squad for Lille
Manuel Pellegrini named 23 players for Betis’ Champions debut at Stade Pierre-Mauroy against Lille.
Manuel Pellegrini has announced the 23-man squad for Betis for their Champions League debut at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy in Lille, played this Tuesday. As reported by Mundo Deportivo, the squad will leave for France on Monday at 10:00 a.m., train at the match venue in the afternoon, and return on Wednesday at midday.
Main additions
The key change from last Friday’s game against Real Madrid is the first appearance this season for Dani Ceballos, Giovani Lo Celso and the goalkeeper Diego Conde, who is back after recovering from the injury he picked up in the friendly against Granada.
Who drops out
Mundo Deportivo also details the absences versus that Real Madrid match: goalkeeper De Pablo (he played well today for Betis Deportivo), plus Diego Llorente and Iker Losada. It’s also noted that Ez Abde misses out after getting through a viral process, while Aitor Ruibal remains sidelined as he completes his return-to-play phase.
